The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Not to mention Yuan Shu, even many officials under Yuan Shu's rule have such thoughts. The combat power displayed by Lu Bu's army is too terrifying. If the situation continues like this, the surrounding princes can compete with Lu Bu. There are few princes.

It would be of great benefit to some aristocratic and wealthy families to make friends with officials under Lu Bu's rule. At least they could have someone to take care of them when emergencies happened.

The marriage and contacts between the wealthy families are precisely for the purpose of greater development of the family, or when the family is in crisis, other families can help.

Not only Yuan Shu, but other princes, regardless of their thoughts on Lu Bu, sent envoys to Pengcheng to congratulate him.

After the envoys of the princes from all over the world came to Pengcheng, the most obvious feeling was the prosperity of Pengcheng. There were too many businessmen coming and going, and the people in the city were bustling. From the expressions of the people, what they felt was the peaceful atmosphere. Come bliss.

This kind of grand occasion is really beyond expectations. It is common for the princes to fight each other for their own interests, and the people under their rule are in dire straits. However, the princes lack more attention to the people, which leads to more bad things. things happen.

More prosperity under the rule is of great significance to the princes.

Chapter 419

These will become an important foundation for the princes to realize their ambitions. If the prosperity and stability under the rule cannot be guaranteed, how can they achieve greater achievements in the battle against other princes.

The prosperity of Pengcheng surprised the envoys of the princes, but after they came to Pengcheng, they behaved relatively low-key, and no one dared to violate the rules set by Lu Bu at this time.

If it were put back when Lu Bu first came to Pengcheng, they would be respectful on the surface, but they might not have cared more in their hearts, but the situation is different now. After Lu Bu took charge of Xuzhou, he showed extraordinary courage and means, Even Yuan Shu, who was very famous among the princes, was defeated by Lu Bu. Such princes definitely deserve more attention from them.

And the envoys from all sides came to Pengcheng with their own purposes. Pengcheng has many things that attract merchants or princes, such as fairy jade, paper, and even the forging method of hundreds of weapons. It is enough for the princes to obtain a lot of benefits.

In fact, there are many secret works sent by the princes of various parties to Pengcheng, and they are always thinking about getting the secrets they want from the craftsmen's workshops or paper workshops outside the city.

But in Xuzhou, there is a lot of attention to the craftsman workshop and paper workshop, and there is no chance for the fine work to get close.

There are many undercurrents hidden behind the prosperous Pengcheng, and Lu Bu has a certain understanding of the things inside.

The princes will naturally flock to things that can obtain huge benefits. As for whether they have the strength to obtain these things, it is another matter.

Although the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce has not been established for a long time, it has a good reputation among the merchants in the past. If you can become a member of the Chamber of Commerce, you will have more convenience in purchasing materials. The Chamber of Commerce is responsible for The daily affairs of Xuzhou merchants.

But wanting to become a member of the chamber of commerce is not as simple as it seems on the surface. First of all, the businessman must have strong financial resources, and then he will have the capital to enter the chamber of commerce, and he has to go to Pengcheng many times to do business. When you come here for the first time, you can enter the chamber of commerce.

You must know that the number of places in the chamber of commerce is limited, and sometimes, the merchants in the chamber of commerce can get fairy jade and paper at a lower price, which is also the most attractive place for merchants.

The merchants in the Chamber of Commerce have responsibilities. Their task is to supervise the merchants in Xuzhou, and even the merchants under Lu Bu’s other rule. When they go to the city to trade, they need to pay certain taxes. This is a normal thing.

But in the actual process, many businessmen will come up with some ways to avoid paying taxes. Lu Bu will not sit idly by and watch such things happen.

The taxes paid by merchants are also an important source of income for the state pastoral government. It is very necessary for merchants to develop a good habit of paying taxes.

One day, when there will be more merchants in Pengcheng, the tax revenue from the merchants alone will allow the State Shepherd's Mansion to obtain a large amount of money and supplies.

The taxation of the common people was not raised because Lu Bu set his sights on merchants.

When more businessmen come to Pengcheng, it will drive the development of Pengcheng. At that time, Pengcheng will show its vitality.

To stand out from the princes requires many means, and Lu Bu is moving forward on this road.

"My lord, the princes and secret agents have been active in the city recently, and three princes and secret agents have been captured alive." Jia Xu whispered.

Lu Bu nodded with a slightly gloomy expression. It was expected that the princes would go to Pengcheng with special arrangements, but if these princes did not know how to restrain their secret operations, Lu Bu would let them know that Xuzhou has enough means to deal with them.

"Get as much news from the emissaries as possible, and after the envoys of the various princes arrive, hand over these elaborations to the envoys of the princes where they are. I want to see what they will do to me. explanation." Lu Bu said.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "My lord is wise."

"There are more and more merchants going to Pengcheng, and there are also a lot of envoys from the princes. The control of the inner city should be strengthened to prevent the young people from mixing into the inner city." Jia Xu said.

"Wenhe did it directly," Lu Bu said.

After Jia Xu reported the affairs, Mi Zhu came to the room. Compared with what Jia Xu said, Mi Zhu came here for businessmen. Currently there are a large number of businessmen in Pengcheng, and these businessmen can bring huge benefits to Xuzhou generation.

Making more use of the power of businessmen can bring Pengcheng's development to a higher level.

This kind of situation is of great benefit to the overall situation of Xuzhou.

Merchants came to Pengcheng for nothing but profit, and there were enough interests as a driving force to make more merchants take risks. It was also an important link to allocate more supplies needed by merchants.

"My lord, the immortal jade is sold at [-]% of the previous price, isn't it a bit too low?" Mi Zhu asked.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "So what if it's too low, more merchants will come to buy it at that time, besides, the cost of immortal jade itself is not as expensive as imagined."

"Here." Mi Zhu cupped his hands.

After discussing the prices of some items in Pengcheng with Lu Bu, Mi Zhu was slightly shocked. Hundred-refined weapons are important things, and naturally they will not be easily traded with merchants, but paper and immortal jade will be. Selling at [-]% of the price in the past, once such news is released, it will definitely arouse great repercussions.

With such a price, it is very difficult for businessmen to come to Pengcheng.

When the Xuzhou army fought with Yuan Shu, the prices of the goods did not drop. The situation in Xuzhou was so critical at that time, but now it has given the merchants a huge opportunity. As long as they can seize this opportunity, there will be More benefits are waiting for the merchant, but this also has a certain relationship with the merchant's financial resources.

Businessmen with strong strength can naturally buy more supplies, which will help them in their future development, but businessmen with weak financial resources can only watch helplessly as others gain huge profits in this event in Xuzhou. profit.

The current Xuzhou is a paradise for businessmen. Businessmen can get what they want when they come to Xuzhou, and the changes they have brought to Xuzhou are also extremely obvious.

With the big wedding approaching and various matters in Pengcheng, Lu Bu had to make decisions, which made Lu Bu feel that his feet were not touching the ground.

"Big marriage is really a troublesome thing." Lu Bu sighed.

Chapter 420 Feng Lang

Envoys from various parties come to Pengcheng, and Pengcheng must give guarantees in terms of safety. This is also a particularly important point. After the envoys of the princes come to Pengcheng, they may do things that are not conducive to the stability of Pengcheng. This is for the development of Pengcheng. , is no small test.

A Pengcheng with strict discipline is very necessary.

Only when Pengcheng is truly stabilized and has more development can Pengcheng develop as expected.

In recent days, the number of soldiers in Pengcheng has been increasing. These soldiers are precisely to maintain law and order in the city and ensure that no bad things will happen in the city.

Not only during the day, but also at night, there are quite a lot of patrolling teams, and the younger generation cannot take advantage of it.

Generally speaking, the princes are relatively at ease after coming to Pengcheng, mainly because the public security situation in Pengcheng is still good.

The development of a city depends not only on the degree of prosperity, but also on the security of the city. If people living in the city cannot even guarantee the most basic stability, how can they live with peace of mind.

Only when you really come to Pengcheng will you have a deeper understanding of the development of Pengcheng and the strength of Lu Bu.

At present, Lu Bu's position among the princes has been determined, and it is absolutely difficult to shake Lu Bu's position.

Even if the other princes have a lot of reluctance in their hearts, they can only admit this.

Sure enough, after the news spread in the city that the jade and paper would be sold at [-]% of the previous price, the merchants were excited. However, the specific time was set to start three days before Lu Bu's wedding and last for nine days.

Such a price has driven more merchants crazy, and some merchants who were not fully prepared before have also started to act secretly. This is a great opportunity to gain benefits.

It is hard for them to forgive themselves if such an opportunity is missed.

The princes sent envoys one after another, and even the imperial court attached great importance to the matter of Lu Bu's wedding, and sent a mighty team of envoys to Pengcheng.

The reason for such a grand occasion is precisely because of Lu Bu's strength.

At present, Pengcheng is a mixed bag, but the envoys of the princes are relatively stable. They are in Pengcheng, and they attach great importance to their own safety. Besides, Lu Bu is a powerful existence among the princes. If Lu Bu is angered, the consequences will be terrible. Unbelievable.

Lu Bu's prestige among the princes was obtained through battles. The victory of the war made Lu Bu's prestige reach an unmatched level, but such prestige does not mean that Lu Bu will have a good reputation .

Since Chen Lin was appointed as the chief editor for Lu Bu, she has been busy with newspaper affairs in the city. Chen Lin is very concerned about this matter. As long as this matter is done well, his articles will be able to read more Known to the world.

Perhaps Lu Bu's reputation is very bad, but Chen Lin is quite satisfied with being able to get such an appointment under Lu Bu's command. The most important point is that under Lu Bu's command, the most important thing is paper. How much do you want to use? There will be unlimited supply.

Under the rule of other princes, can there be such a rich and powerful scene? The current price of paper is as high as a thousand yuan a piece. Affected by Lu Bu's wedding, the current sale of Pengcheng's paper and immortal jade is very small. Two things are not popular with businessmen, but these businessmen are waiting for their opportunities to come.

Accumulate financial resources, and when the prices of the two things drop, they will make a big purchase.

Most of the people in Pengcheng are passing businessmen, so it is not easy to find a vacant inn in the city at this time.

And Chen Lin had nothing to do when she was free, what she liked most was to drink a few sips of wine.

Pengcheng Restaurant has been in the city for a long time, and its drinks are also famous in surrounding counties.

The hall was overcrowded, and Chen Lin waited for about a quarter of an hour before a seat became free.

There is no shortage of high-ranking officials and dignitaries who go in and out of restaurants, and businessmen from all over the world are also rich. In the eyes of ordinary people, a large amount of money is nothing to these businessmen. What they pursue is enjoyment.

There was a bit of noise in the restaurant, but Chen Lin didn't care. She was conceiving the content of the first issue of the newspaper in her mind. Chen Lin attached great importance to the content of the first issue of the newspaper.

In the current bookstore, preparations have been made.

What Chen Lin admires most about Lu Bu is the movable type printing he proposed. As long as the content is typeset in advance, more articles can be printed, which is faster than manual transcription, and it is not easy to appear. mistake.

Once the newspaper comes out, it will definitely cause a new shock among the princes, and Chen Lin, as the person in charge of the Xuzhou newspaper, will also be known to the world.

Literati still pay more attention to their own reputation. This kind of opportunity to get ahead will not be easily missed by any literati.

Being in Xuzhou, Chen Lin's most obvious feeling is that there are many differences between Lu Bu and the legends. A general with such means, coupled with the strong military strength of Xuzhou Army, at this moment, who dares to go against Lu Bu? It is definitely a nightmare for this prince.

Although Chen Lin didn't have much contact with political affairs, the prosperity of Xuzhou could be judged only by the number of businessmen she came and went with, which was unmatched by other princes.

"Guest, there are no seats left, please wait a moment." The servant in the restaurant said respectfully and apologetically.

"Hmph, there's no room left, just let someone else come out." The bearded man shouted, and immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice, "This is an official in the Jizhou envoy team."

"It turns out to be such a distinguished guest, I'm neglecting you." The servant hurriedly saluted.

Seeing this, the young man showed a satisfied smile. It was Feng Lang, the son of Feng Ji. Perhaps many people didn't know Feng Lang was mentioned in Jizhou. .

Originally, Jizhou had sent Jushou as an envoy to Pengcheng, but after Lu Bu's wedding, Yuan Shao sent another team. The current two teams are mainly based on Jushou.

It was Feng Lang who led the other team.

Feng Ji is an important official under Yuan Shao's command, usually Feng Lang is a little unscrupulous when he acts in Jizhou, even ordinary officials should respect him when they see him.

After coming to Pengcheng, Feng Lang didn't take Jushou's persuasion to heart. So what if Lu Bu's strength is strong, can he still be compared with the leader of the alliance? Besides, Lu Bu and Yuan Shao are allies at present, and his status in Pengcheng is still noble of.

Chapter 421

"But there is really no place in the small shop. If the distinguished guests can't wait, they can go to other restaurants." The servant said.

The bearded man stretched out his hand and slapped his face, "You don't have to drink a toast."

The loud slap in the face attracted more people's attention, and many people turned their attention to Feng Lang's location.

But all the people in Pengcheng, whether they are outsiders or local officials, follow a principle that they must be kind and friendly in the city. After Lu Bu took control of Pengcheng, how many children who were originally playboys were taken care of by Lu Bu. , and relying on their family background, these people ran amok in the city and brought a lot of trouble to their family.

Under such circumstances, few people dare to cause trouble in the city.

Even if it is the emissary team of the princes, after arriving in the city, they still have to follow the rules of Pengcheng. Unexpectedly, they encountered such a curious thing in the Pengcheng restaurant.

Attracting so much attention, Feng Lang is not only not worried, but rather complacent. He is an important person in Jizhou, and no matter where he goes, he will attract more attention. After arriving in Pengcheng, there is still no exception.

The left side of the servant's face was swollen high, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, he took two steps back in horror, just now he knew the identity of the visitor, no matter what the rules of Pengcheng are, it is always right for the people not to fight with the officials.

Chen Lin put down the wine cup, and looked at Feng Lang and the others with a slightly dissatisfied gaze, so what if she had a certain status, could she be able to do whatever she wanted in Pengcheng.

Before Chen Lin got up, a general dressed as a school lieutenant walked towards Feng Lang.

"Why did you beat people in Pengcheng?" the captain asked in a deep voice.

From his body, the guards around Feng Lang felt the great pressure. He was a strong man with a hulking back, and his school captain's attire clearly showed that he had a certain status in the army.

Feng Lang stepped forward and said with a smile: "This general, just now this servant spoke too arrogantly, and the guards around me couldn't see it, so he took the initiative to teach him a lesson."

The captain turned his attention to the servant.

The servant nodded and said: "It was the villain who offended this distinguished guest just now, he should be hit."

The captain snorted coldly and said: "What I was going to see just now is not like this. You came to the restaurant to drink, but you blamed a servant because there is no place. I don't know who it is? If it is under the rule of Marquis Wen Officials, absolutely not."

More people turned their attention to it. Being able to serve as a school lieutenant in the Xuzhou Army is also a person with a certain status. Such a person has a lot of influence in person, even if it is an ordinary official. The generals in the army did not dare to be more presumptuous, mainly because the generals in the army had Lu Bu backing them.

It may be normal for civil officials to belittle military generals under the command of other princes, but it is different under Lu Bu's rule.

Lu Bu himself is a military general, and when treating generals, he has a tolerance unmatched by other princes.

If civil officials humiliate generals unreasonably, the consequences will be serious.

A school lieutenant in the army stepped forward at such a time, and it was foreseeable that Feng Lang and the others would definitely encounter a lot of trouble.

"The servant said it was because of his fault, could it be that your Excellency wanted to cause trouble, this is the envoy of Jizhou." The strong man shouted.
